a growing bump...

I don't think you ever get used the feeling of the little life wriggling and kicking around in your belly...its the last thing I think about at night and the first thing when I wake in the morning - nothing beats waking up and rubbing the little ball on your belly...then waiting to feel her wake and let you know she's there and safe! I love her so much already...

So we boarded a really stunning aeroplane (the new Emirates A380 airbus) on the 6th Oct and headed to Dubai for a holiday and a spoil with my folks! The flight was great as I had the seat by the window right in front of the plane - with loads of leg room and I could get up and walk around as much as I needed - I think I visited the loo like 8 times :):) I was fortunate - had no swelling on my feet and felt great through the flight and when I arrived!

Little baby Bloom in dubai - my pregnant tummy at 21 weeks...
...so I finally you can see I 'm pregnant - my belly has a definite little ball now :) and its firmed up alot - love it - its the best feeling:)

Dubai is amazing - my parents just moved in to their new apartment on the 49th floor of a skyscraper... the view is breath-taking. When I wake up during the night to turn I open my eyes and look out this massive window and see the amazing lights of the other buildings high up in the sky....it so beats the burglar bars we have to live with in JHB! I am getting so super spoilt here - I get home cooked meals, tea in bed - its divine!

My mom and I have had a blast shopping up a storm for our little princess! She is already very spoilt - its so hard to resist the gorgeous little girl things - been waiting my whole life for this! Found some really stunning stuff (that I cant get at home) and best of all we found our pram! That was the best feeling getting it! I really love it :) Here's a pic.... it has 3 attachments the car seat, the cradle and the pram seat....

All the material things aside - the only thing that really counts is the precious little life that has been growing for 5 1/2 months...a baby really is a miracle from God - and watching her grow and change and feeling her move is a constant reminder of how awesome God is! What a privilege to carry God's miracle!

I am grateful for a wonderful healthy pregnancy and continuously pray for His protection over her daily...thank you Lord for *SG* you created her outside my womb and knitting her together inside my womb - WOW!

Saying good-bye with a heart bubbling over with happiness and joy!
